Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system for controlling power load on a rig engine, and to a wellbore rig comprising such a system.
  • the invention relates to: controlling generator engines, and in certain particular aspects, to controlling wellbore rig generator engines to control gas emissions that form; to power systems for rigs used in wellbore operations, e.g. drilling; to methods and systems and methods for recovering and using power generated by rig apparatuses; and to enhancing the quality of power used on a rig.
  • Rigs used for wellbore operations use a wide variety of tools, apparatuses, appliances, systems and devices that use electrical power.
  • power is supplied by one or more generators that run on diesel fuel or other hydrocarbon fuel.
  • Such rigs including, but not limited to, drilling rigs and production platforms, have for example, drawworks, pumps, motors mud pumps, drive system(s) (rotary, power swivel, top drive), pipe racking systems, hydraulic power units, and/or a variety of rig utilities (lights, A/C units, appliances), electronics, and control systems for these things.
  • Typical conventional drilling rigs have one or more alternating current (AC) power generators which provide power to silicon controlled rectifier(s) which convert the AC power to DC power, e.g. for DC motors of various tools and systems, and for DC-powered top drives or prime movers.
  • AC alternating current
  • rig generators have engines that run on natural gas (or other relatively clean fuels). Such engines can be sluggish to respond to different power demands and this can negatively affect operations, e.g., but not limited to, tripping speeds. In many such engines, the engines must be heavily loaded (run at high power levels) so that catalytic converters associated with the engines run properly and efficiently. In many instances, a variety of wellbore operations are intermittent and it is difficult and/or expensive to maintain such engines at a constant heavy loading. In some situations, to compensate for sluggish engine response, artificial loads (e.g. resistor banks) are used to keep engine loads high until power produced therewith can be used in an actual operation. Such artificial loading burns relatively more fuel and the total volume of undesirable emissions is higher, but the amount of undesirable nitrous oxide (“NOx”) emissions can be lower. The higher fuel consumption can result in excessive carbon dioxide emissions.
  • NOx nitrous oxide
  • machines or apparatuses on a rig produce power, e.g. drawworks brakes when they are in a braking mode. This power is, in many situations, transferred to a device which wastes the power rather than recovering it for re-use.
  • the power is fed to a resistor apparatus and is dissipated as heat.
  • the power supplied to rig machines is of low quality (e.g., but not limited to, power which does not meet the standards of IEEE Standard 519).
  • the use of this low quality power is undesirable in certain situations and unsuitable for certain critical application, e.g. to run certain instruments, apparatuses, electrical components, sensitive electronic equipment, and computerized devices which can be damaged by low quality power, e.g. such low quality power can cause overheating or can cause standard equipment (e.g. transformers, motors, relays, resistors) to unnecessarily "trip” or activate causing equipment to go off line or causing erroneous signals.
  • standard equipment e.g. transformers, motors, relays, resistors
  • low quality power trip unnecessarily
  • a relay that recognizes power drops.
  • Certain low quality power has high harmonic distortions.
  • rig operations have a variety of essential or critical power loads. Certain apparatuses and devices must always have available power and it must be at a certain required level. The failure to provide these essential and critical loads can result in damage to various items and the cessation of rig operations. Also a lowered voltage anywhere on a rig can produce electrical power that must be dealt with.
  • Harsh environments, generator overload, generator failure, control system anomalies and failures, software crashes, and anomalous power allocation events can result in the failure of a generator, the tripping off of a generator or of multiple generators (e.g. in a domino effect beginning with a first generator and then including additional generators). When a generator goes offline, this can adversely affect on-going operations and, in severe cases, can result in a total power blackout.
  • Contributing to problems associated with the efficient and effective power allocation to the various power-consuming entitles of a rig is the fact that the power consumed by certain entities is not or cannot be controlled; e.g. the power consumed by certain rig utilities is not limited.
  • static unchangeable power allocations which are set in stone for certain power-consuming rig entities have resulted in rigs having significantly more power generating capacity or ability (e.g. more power generators) than is ever actually used.
  • generators can overload, shut down or trip off. In the event of a rig or generator going off line (especially suddenly as when one trips), if the actual power usage of equipment, etc. is not limited to an acceptable level quickly enough, other generators can become overloaded and subsequently trip off as a result.
  • a drawworks in connection with the rig or derrick to hold and to raise and lower a drill string and associated equipment into and out of the wellbore.
  • a travelling block having an appropriate hook or other similar assembly is used for the raising and lowering operations.
  • the travelling block is secured in block and tackle fashion to a secured crown block or other limit fixture located at the top of the rig or derrick.
  • the raising and lowering operation of the travelling block is performed by means of a hoist cable or line, one end of which is secured to the rig floor or ground forming a "dead line", with the other end being secured to the drawworks proper and forming the "fast line".
  • the drawworks includes a rotatable cylindrical drum upon which the cable or fast line is wound by means of a suitable prime mover and power assembly.
  • the prime mover is controlled by an operator typically by way of a foot or hand throttle.
  • the drawworks is supplied with one or more suitable brakes, also controlled by the operator, usually with hand controls.
  • the primary brake which typically is a friction brake of either a band or disk type, is supplemented with an auxiliary brake, such as an eddy current type brake or a magnetic brake.
  • the drawworks may also be provided with an emergency brake which can be activated in the event of a power failure to the eddy current brake or when the travelling block exceeds a maximum safe falling speed.
  • the brakes can themselves produce power, power that must be dealt with in some way. Typically this power is wasted, e.g. by feeding it to a resistor system for dissipation as heart.
  • WO-A-01/51750 which is considered the closest prior art document discloses a system and method for automatically drilling and backreaming a horizontal borehole underground.
  • the system includes a horizontal drilling machine and a machine control system for operating the drilling machine.

Once each tool has established its power limit, it safely sets the internal speed and torque limits of its motor to operate within the power limit and remain safe. For tools with electrically powered motors, each tool calculates a speed and torque limit based on its static logic and operator requests.

Operation of the drawworks K demands an additional 1000 kW intermittently (for example, 30 seconds). Total power demand is 3500 kW while operating the drawworks K. Without an energy storage mechanism such as the flywheels F, an additional engine E is required to run in reserve in order to supply power for the peak load. But with four engines on line, their output can vary from 62.5% capacity to 87.5% capacity, so average engine demand over the range is 75%, although this may not be an accurate average over time. Fuel efficiency is poor and loading is insufficient to reliably operate the installed emissions controls on the engines.
  • Exhaust temperatures are maintained by maintaining engine loading at sufficient levels e.g., in certain aspects above 70% of maximum, e.g. by levelling the load with flywheels. Without the flywheels and with four 1000kW engines, the engine loading swings from 62.5% to 87.5%, which violates the 70% minimum load requirement for several minutes during each drawworks "tripping cycle". Using the flywheels in combination with three 1000kW engines, engines are loaded by the flywheels during the minimum demand, and then contribute power during the maximum demand, so the average load on the engines is always above 70%.
